The Global EdTech Alliance of Alliances (AoA) is a member-led, non-profit global coordination platform bringing together national, regional, and supranational EdTech associations and alliances from around the world.
Its purpose is to:
strengthen global coordination and knowledge exchange across EdTech ecosystems,
provide a structured space for joint positioning, dialogue, and collaboration, and
amplify the collective voice of EdTech alliances in global education and policy processes.
Provide local policy counterparts to high-level discussions
The AoA is incubated as part of UNESCO’s Global Education Coalition, and is designed to function as an independent legal and organisational entity, governed by and accountable to its members.
Current Status and Roadmap
The Alliance of Alliances is currently in its foundational phase.
Founding (constituting) meeting:
23 March 2026, Paris
(hosted in the context of the Global Education Coalition convening)
At this meeting, members will:
formally constitute the Alliance,
confirm governance principles,
agree on leadership structures, and
initiate the transition to full operational independence.
All EdTech alliances and associations interested in becoming founding or early members are invited to engage ahead of the constituting meeting.

A catalytic bridge between regional alliances and global actors in EdTech and digital learning - co-creating shared standards, scalable frameworks, and policy influence.
Meetings and Engagement
The AoA has convened multiple preparatory and coordination meetings bringing together alliance leaders from Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, and the Middle East. These meetings focus on shared challenges, governance design, and collective priorities.
Upcoming Meeting
23 March 2026 – Paris
Constituting Meeting of the Global EdTech Alliance of Alliances
Who Can Be a Member?
Membership is open to:
National EdTech associations
Regional or continental EdTech alliances
Supranational EdTech coordination bodies
Membership is organisational (not individual) and is based on a clear mandate to represent an EdTech ecosystem, alignment with principles of collaboration, transparency, and public interest, willingness to engage constructively in a global, member-led alliance.
Leadership Representation
It is currently foreseen that regional or supranational alliances will play a central role in leadership structures, with the explicit aim of ensuring balanced global representation, and avoiding dominance by any single geography or market. Final leadership and governance arrangements will be decided by members at the constituting meeting.

Why Join the Alliance of Alliances
Members of the AoA benefit from:
direct peer exchange with alliance leaders globally,
coordinated engagement with global institutions and initiatives,
increased visibility and collective positioning,
opportunities for joint initiatives, statements, and projects.
Most importantly, members help shape how EdTech ecosystems collaborate globally
—rather than being represented by others.
Get Involved
If your organisation represents an EdTech ecosystem and is interested in contributing to a member-led global alliance, we welcome your engagement.
The Role of the European EdTech Alliance (EEA)
The European EdTech Alliance (EEA) currently plays a time-limited enabling role in supporting the establishment of the Global EdTech Alliance of Alliances.
Why the EEA Is Involved
The EEA is supporting the founding phase because it already has established organisational infrastructure, operational capacity, and appropriate funding and compliance mechanisms to provide required support.
This enables the AoA to convene globally, coordinate preparatory work efficiently, and focus on member-driven design rather than administrative overhead.
Nature and Limits of the EEA’s Role
The EEA acts as an interim organisational host and secretariat.
It provides support services only, implementing decisions made by AoA members.
This role is explicitly temporary and will end once the AoA can operate independently.
The EEA will become a regular member of the Alliance of Alliances. It holds no special privileges, voting rights, or permanent leadership role. It is subject to the same rules and obligations as all other members. This separation is intentional and central to the credibility and legitimacy of the global alliance.
Transition to Independence
A core objective of the founding phase is to ensure that the Alliance of Alliances can sustain itself financially, operate through its own governance bodies, and employ or mandate its own operational structures if required.
